I went to Pompeii this weekend and took this picture. Can someone here tell me what the text says? Or can someone point me to a more suitable subreddit?
Sorry I'm late. So, while in theory really any of us classicists could, in that we can understand what's written, you're asking about epigraphy, the study of inscriptions, and papyrology, the study of physical manuscripts, usually on paper, papyrus, and vellum. Now, epigraphers and papyrologists are a very select group of individuals, and your average classicist has little training in epigraphy. The reason for this is that you have to not only be able to read and understand the language, but be able to decipher the particular hand that it's written in (writing styles varied over time and place--just look at all the typefaces we've got on MS Word today), as well as idiosyncrasies in the method of writing (usually extensive abbreviations in inscriptions--it's tiring and time-consuming to write out lengthy words on stone when an abbreviation can save space and headaches). Latin in particular uses an enormous amount of abbreviations, many of which can only be identified via context, because a single abbreviation can often stand for several different words of phrases, given the context (not to mention number and grammatical case, which can also vary). Furthermore there's the possibility that this is written in Vulgar Latin, which is even harder for epigraphers to decipher and for classicists and linguists to read. I don't know of any epigraphers here who can help you, but it's worth PM'ing our flaired users listed under linguistics or even archaeology
Perhaps /r/translation could handle that?
